Migration problem with POP3 account

Hi.

I've just migrated from Win XP to Win 8 on a new machine.

On my XP box I had the Thunderbird mail folder (settings>local folder) set on my D: drive (D:/Mail) rather than under C:/Documents & Settings/../Mozilla/... This has always worked fine.

To migrate to my new box I copied the contents of the D:/Mail folder across to the new machine and pointed Thunderbird to it under Settings>Local Folder for each account. And copied the contents of the Profile Folder across into the profile location on the new machine.

All the mail appears as it did on the previous machine in Thunderbird.

BUT when I go to check for my mail in my Yahoo POP3 account it tries to download all the message from 2007 onwards (120,497 !) It manages a few, which it duplicates, then gives up.

Help! Please!

Kevin

Sounds like the popstate.dat file for the Yahoo POP3 account is either; a new popstate, so is downloading everything it has not got a record of previously downloading. OR it has got corrupted and has no log of the emails, so it downloads.

Did you copy over all the contents of the Yahoo mail account, including the 'popstate.dat' file?


A quick way around this: POP mail accounts can only access the server Inbox. Logon to your webmail account using a browser. Move all your old previously downloaded mail out of the Inbox and into another Folder or delete the old emails off the server. Then Thunderbird cannot see them, so will not attempt to download them.
